[TowerTalk] Dual Tramming a MonstIR antenna

[David Jordan]

This is the 2nd time I've seen someone climb a crank-up tower when it 
was fully extended.  The first time I was there in person and the fella 
was stuck on the second section because the 3rd section slipped and 
pinned both feet.  Luck for him he was strong enough to free himself 
before serious damage was done to his feet.

Scary stuff Terry,
